Judges 3:15

3:15 left-handed. Lit. “with his right hand restricted.” This is not the usual Hebrew word for “left-handed.” It is used elsewhere only in 20:16, also for the men of Benjamin. “Benjamin” can be translated “son of the right hand,” and the writer may be making a pun about a left-handed son of the right hand.
